Ya, I gotta have my aggression tank with teeth. I couldn't afford a $300 armatus so I settled for this poorman scombag payara. The next fish on the list is some sort of cuda with massive teeth.

depending on tank size would try to find a tat lil more aggro and longer lived

its a rhaphiodon vulpinus. not a scomb. they need lots of space and very calm tankmates. great fish!

Are rhaphiodon vulpinus related to armatus specy? How big do these get in aquarium? Do they die of no cause like scomb when they reached 12"? I may have to run back to the fish store to get two more.
